I often wonder how new users climb up the ranks so quickly. I guess flying in paving mode could do it. It isn't the points that bothers me as much as the user not gaining any real editing experience through points not legitimately earned. An inexperienced user with a lot of points is dangerous.

That's the part of the response I found most interesting. My editing interest is neither the points (fun, but not necessary) or at all altruistic. It's more a selfish motivation (tip of the hat to Ayn Rand). I want a GPS that is accurate and consistent and I'm willing to expend the effort to get it. If my effort benefits anyone else, so much the better.

So thank you to all of you whose efforts have made Waze better for me.
